Hi, Please take the time to list your Jones, date and place instead of "Most Wanted" or no subject. Most of us receive boo-koodles of mail. I can't read all of the posts and I am afraid I will miss a connection. These Jones folks are bad enough to try and trace. Thanks, Vicky in GA looking for Lewis Jones born abt 1797, according to census in South Carolina. Married Elizabeth Wright Morris. Died in Hall County Ga. ----- Original Message ----- From: <JONES-D-request@rootsweb.com> To: <JONES-D@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, October 28, 2002 2:01 AM Subject: JONES-D Digest V02 #397

Looking for Joel JONES. He was born abt 1779 in NC were he spent most of his early childhood before his family moved to SC. He married Cozar ORR abt 1814 in SC. Cozar was born abt 1794 in NC (Because of this large age difference between Joel and Cozar- I wonder if he wasn't married before!). They had the following known children; Henry E-abt 1820, Nancy-abt 1827 and two unknown daughters-bet 1818-1826. There are two others that may have been Joel's son; George Joseph-1824 and James-1826. By 1820's Joel moved his young family to GA. Cozar died bef 1828 in GA under unusual conditions. Joel and a Kissiah (Keziah) ORR where accused of murdering an Anna ORR who was said to be Joel's wife (we don't know if this is Cozar and Ann was her middle name or not), they were NOT indicted and shortly thereafter on Aug 18,1828 in Jasper CO, GA Joel and Kissiah were married. Kissiah may have been a sister or sister-in-law to Cozar. Joel and Kissiah had the following known children; Cullen-1830, Franklin-1832 and Elizabeth-1834. In 1850 Joel moved to Stewart Co, GA at age 71. And by 1860 he had moved to Dale CO, AL near his son Henry. Joel died aft 1870 in Dale CO, AL. Kissiah also died abt that same time. There is a possibility that Joel's father was a William JONES, but this is not proven. Any information about this family would be helpful. Georgann Hunter TX whunter@ominiglobal.net
